Dean Reveals
New Faculty
Dean Clifford Larson recently
announced the faculty changes
which will be made at Bethel for
the 1960-61 academic year.
Football coaching and instruc-tion
in the physical education de-partment
will be the responsibili-ties
of Owen Halleen, who is cur-rently
instructing in the public
school sytem of Elsinore, Calif-ornia.
Undergraduate work was
done at Wheaton college where
Mr. Halleen played first-string
football; he received his M.A. de-gree
from the University of Illin-ois.
According to Dean Larson,
Mr. Halleen is outstanding for his
"positive, dynamic Christian wit-ness."
Instruction in the mathematics
department next year will be given
by Philip Carlson. Mr. Carlson re-ceived
his B.A. in philosophy from
Bethel and took B.S. and M.S. de-grees
from the University of Min-nesota
in mathematics. The last
year has been spent in graduate
study and research at the Uni-versity
of Minnesota, working with
Paul C. Rosenbloom of the Insti-tute
of Technology under the Na-tional
Science foundation to de-velop
new mathematical curricu-lum
for use in public schools. Mr.
Carlson serves on the board of
deacons for St. Louis Park Bap-tist
church.
Assuming a full-time status will
be Donald Lantz, who will be act-ing
as assistant professor of bio-logy
and education. Mr. Lantz
completed work for his B.S. at
Wheaton college and has also earn-ed
a B.D. degree from Bethel. He
will be completing work for his
Ph.D. at the University of Minne-sota
this summer. He has been a
teaching assistant at the Univer-sity
for three years.
Frank Bonn, a doctoral candi-date
in political science at the Uni-versity
of Minnesota, will also
join the Bethel faculty next year.

Shrubsole-Ward.
During the evening, an offering
will be received which will go to
the music scholarship fund. Of-fertory
music will be Purcell's
"Trumpet Fanfare and Tune,"
played by a trumpet trio composed
of Morris Anderson, Jan Drury,
and Paul Nelson.
L. Starkey Will

Now traveling to California is
Lawrence H. Starkey who will be
receiving his doctorate in philo-sophy
from the University of
Southern California at graduation
exercises in June. Mr. Starkey did
the work for his doctoral thesis in
the area of metaphysics and philo-sophy
of science.
Mr. Starkey is associate profes-sor
of philosophy at Bethel.
Top honors in the college and
seminary have been given to John
Tyberg and Ed Erickson, respec-tively,
with salutary honors going
to Richard Greaves of the college
and Al Glenn of the' seminary.
John Tyberg, who is graduating

Editorial The Mind of South Africa;
Constitution Challenged White Suss remacy the Ideal
At the last student senate meeting the senators formed a
committee of the whole to discuss the role of the calendar co-ordina-tor
and the calendar policy committee in relation to the social
council.
The topic of discussion was whether the committee should
be comprised of the co-ordinator, the social council and a repre-sentative
of the student affairs office or if two students should
serve on the committee rather than the social council.
It seemed that the committee of the whole reported to the
senate a recommendation that the social council be replaced by two
students. As the matter came up for a vote, following the some-what
heated discussion, one senator left the room and a cohort
called for a quorum which was not present. Thus the matter was
left hanging.
The point in question is one of strictly adhering to an ob-solete
constitution or officially adopting a contrary policy because
of its practical nature.
Or could it be a matter of revising the constitution so that the
roles of the councils and appointees are clearly defined and in line
with present campus policy?

Conrad Woodall
by Ian Paterson
Hitler's supporters of yesterday are the govern-ment
leaders of today in South Africa. During
World War II they wanted to take the Union into
the war on the side of Germany because of their
sympathy with Nazi ideas about white supremacy.
Also, Hitler was fighting the British. However, in
1939 these men were not in power and South Africa
fought as Britain's ally.
Today these men are in power and their pri-mary
policy is the complete separation of blacks
from whites—"apartheid." As one put it, while ad-dressing
a banquet, "We are on the road to our
true ideal, which is a white South Africa."
Those who favor this ideal are descendants of
the early Dutch settlers, who came to the Cape (of
Good Hope) in 1652 bringing with them a strong
Calvinistic doctrine and belief in the literal transla-tion
of the Bible. They saw domination of the black
African as part of God's plan and stressed in part
Joshua 9:21, "Let them be hewers of wood and
drawers of water."
Britain came into the picture during the
Napoleonic Wars when she seized the Cape Colony
to protect her sea routes. From the beginning, dif-ferences
separated the two groups—language, tem-perament,
and religion. (The British were Anglican
and in the eyes of the Dutch, liberal. Nor was
friendship engendered by the freeing of the Dutch
slaves by the British.) These differences proved too
much for the Boers (Dutch word meaning farmer)
who pulled out en masse for the interior (this be-came
known as the "Great Trek.")
The move inland was a great isolating factor;
and the Boers continued in their old ways with a
hardened shell. The land which they settled they
called Transvaal and the Orange Free State. And
what an unfortunate choice, for diamonds and gold
in abundance and here came the British once again.
The Boer War (1899-1902) was the final result of
renewed tensions and resulted in a British victory.
The Union of South Africa was formed.
The British were in the voting minority by a
half million, however; and were therefore unable to
control the government. Fortunately the Afrikaners
(term used by Dutch descendants to describe them-selves)
elected leaders who were moderate in out-look.
But when the last of these moderate leaders,
General Smuts, died in the late forties the diehards
of the earlier age regained control and since 1948
have pushed "apartheid." (And to insure continued
power they re-arranged voting lines to their advan-tage.
Negroes do not have a vote.) Through the
channels of government the 1.8 million Afrikaners
are trying to bring about the total control of the
10 million African Negroes.
The most obnoxious part of this control, as the
Negro sees it, is the pass system which this Na-tionalist
party is enforcing with vigor. All Negroes
are required to carry an "identification pass" which
the authorities can demand at any time. Other passes
required for specific occasions include the "Trek
pass", to travel to one town from another; "Travel-ling
pass", to go to one suburb from another; "Six
day special pas" allowing six days in a city to
find work; "Day special pass", to visit out of town
friends on his day off; "Location visitor's pass", to
show he checked in when he arrived at this friend's;
and the "Night special pass" to be out after 9 p.m.
To the black African the pass system has be-come
the symbol of injustice and white domination.
In the past, passive resistance has been urged by
African leaders and during the years there have
been many peaceful demonstrations. On March 21,
1960 such a demonstration took place in Sharpe-ville,
but roused tempers on both sides set the police
to machine-gunning, and 72 blacks were killed, 250
more were wounded. Throughout the country this
action roused the African and for three weeks there
was rioting and further killing, and strikes and
arrests for striking. It roused the English-speaking
people and its anti-government press and a white
farmer of British extraction attempted assassina-tion
of the Prime Minister.
As to the Afrikaners, they took a course of
suppression, and today the riots are quelled. The
workers are back at work and to the outside world
nothing is heard anymore.
But seared hearts do not forget and seared
minds remember.
It is hard to imagine that the South African
government can long endure unchanged. "No one,
however, could conceive of any Afrikaner giving the
Africans what they are demanding." Herein lie the
seeds of future conflict.
English Faculty Review Current Books;
Long Summer Days Engender Reading
by Lewis Barrett
(Editor's note: Some of the
English faculty were asked to
suggest a book for summer read-ing
and review it.)
For summer reading I would
suggest Peter Viereck's The Un-adjusted
Man: a new hero for
Americans, a man concerned with
his spiritual, aesthetic and prac-tical
development.
Viereck is belles-lettres with a
collosal spread—one foot in aes-thetics
and the other firmly in
economic and political areas. Above
all, he is a 20th century Edmund
Burke or Thomas Babington Mac-
Caulay, living as they did for in-tellectual
freedom with moral re-sponsibility.
Viereck, a prolific
Pulitzer prize winning poet, essay-ist,
historian, and journalist is a
professor of history at Mt. Hol-yoke
college, South Hadley, Mass.
At 44 this controversial repre-sentative
of the new conservative
element in philosophy and politics
has unmasked more age-of-adjust-ment
socialistic trends than most
sages twice his age. He predicts
that from the conservatives will
come a new "creative traditional-ism,"
in which the poet and artist
will attack smugness but will cre-ate
alternative moral standards.
Since he dabbles on both banks
(imaginative and didactic) of the
intellectual stream, the political
and social scientists smile at his
humanistic, qualitative orientation,
and the literateur' finds his books
loaded with too much practical
knowledge.
In The Unadjusted Man, for in-stance,
he races in epigrammatic
fashion from Burkean philosophy
to the New Deal, using his cutting
and stinging touch and lightning
humor to clean out collectivism so
that individualism may grow.
He realizes such free imagina-tion
may be suspected as signs of
unadjustment in an age that is
overadjusted and seeking to edu-cate
men to be citizens rather than
individuals. Viereck wants man to
have more "elbow-room within a
more organic belongingness, an
organic unity of individuals as op-posed
to a state-coerced unity of
massmen."
by Jeannine Bohlmeyer
The World's Last Night is a col-lection
of seven essays on varied
topics. "The Efficacy of Prayer"
seeks an answer to the question
"What sort of evidence would
prove the efficacy of prayer ?" "On
Obstinacy in Belief" considers
some of the supposed contrasts be-tween
faith and scientific belief
based on evidence. "Lilies that Fes-ter"
deplores faith in "culture."
The possible effects on Christian-ity
should life be discovered on
other planets is the topic of "Re-ligion
and Rocketry," and the title
essay considers temporal existence
in relation to the second coming
of Christ. "Good Work and Good
Works" insists on careful crafts-manship
instead of displays of
"mere puddles of spilled sensibility
or reflection." "Screwtape Propo-ses
a Toast" continues the reverse-twist
point of view made famous
in The Screwtape Letters.
Mr. Lewis consistently concludes
a chapter long before he has ex-hausted
his subject or his reader.
Each essay might well be a chapter
from an entire book devoted to its
theme. Mr. Lewis' deft, witty, in-cisive
style, familiar to readers of
his other works, and his gift for
developing the unexpected idea
compel attention. The book is not
difficult reading, but it should lead
the reader to difficult thinking
about the relevancy of Christianity
to the modern world—and to the
modern Christian.
by Trevor Owen
Glendon Swarthout's novel They
Came to Cordura combines the
pleasure of an exciting adventure
story with the appeal of an intelli-gent
presentation of an interesting
theme—heroism.
Major Thorn, the central char-acter
of the story, is fascinated and
tormented by the question: "What
is heroism ?" The question is es-pecially
poignant to him because
he has been branded a coward. The
story takes place in Mexico, in
1916, at the time of the American
punitive expedition against Pancho
Villa. Thorn has been given the
responsibility of carefully leading
to safety five men who eventually
are to be awarded the Congres-sional
Medal of Honor.
The journey of these men to
Cordura, with its increasingly ad-verse
circumstances, is a testing
experience for all. The progressive
effects of the test on Thorn and
his charges provide a fascinating
psychological study leading, with
mountnig suspense, to a climactic
scene of the most brutal and sense-less
violence and a puzzling, al-most
fancfiul, denouement.
by Chris Weintz
THE CONFIDENCE-MAN: His
Masquerade, Melville's last full-length
novel has lain in obscurity
for almost one hundred years. Only
recently has the American reader
discovered in it the remarkable
depth of perception which Melville
had of mid-nineteenth century
Yankee hypocrisies.
The author develops the novel
through a series of parables in-volving
the exploits of a Confi-dence
Man. Throughout, Melville
questions the liberalist attitude
which blindly places confidence in
all people, despite the contrary
counsel of common sense and wis-dom.
Melville does not reject his
faith in humanity, but concludes
that there is a higher confidence
for man: the American Constitu-tion,
the Bible, and Jehovah.

Music Studio
Plans Told
By Whitinger
A recent announcement by the
music department revealed that
they are planning to expand their
facilities by utilizing the house on
the corner of Asbury and Arling-ton
which is already owned by the
school.
The five-room building will
function primarily as a prac-tice
studio and vocal-piano teach-ing
studio. Plans call for some
acoustic work to be done so that
the building will be reasonably
sound proofed. In addition, it may
be possible that the large dining
and living room area may be used
as a small recital hall for student
recitals and for piano and vocal
workshops.
According to Julius Whitinger,
acting chairman of the music de-partment,
the current student rates
for practice facilities will prob-ably
remain in effect and students
will be assigned practice space
according to the system that is now
used. It is anticipated that there
will still be practice available in
the college building after school
hours and on Saturdays.

Saturday. Don Mattson walked
away with the day's lowest score
as he shot a 70, which is two un-der
par for the course. The teams
total score was 335, five less than
the second place Milton team.
Holmberg and
Bethel Nine
Blank NW, 6-0
The Bethel baseball team singled
their way into the Badger Gopher
Conference meet at Sheboygan,
Wis. behind the brilliant hurling
of John Holmberg on Thursday,
May 19, as they blanked the North-western
Eagles 6-0.
John went the distance, giving
up only three scattered singles
while firing his first Bethel shut-out.
Despite an early-innings sore
arm, he was in control of the situa-tion
at all times, striking out nine
batsmen while walking only two.
Long John also sparkled at the
plate, singling twice in three times
at bat—just one hit short of equ-alling
the number he doled out.
Bethel jumped on Northwestern
starter, Jim Carlson, early, scor-ing
the eventually decisive run
after sending only four men to the
plate in the very first inning, as
Al Littler sent a long fly to left
to score Dick Robertson from
third. It was Littler's first of three
RBI's in the afternoon.
Carlson, by now the losing pit-cher,
departed in the second after
Bethel tagged him for another
tally and was threatening to con-tinue
the same. Ralph Young re-lieved
and temporarily stopped the
Bethel hitters, but allowed a run
in the third, fifth, and two in the
sixth inning, rounding out the
Bethel scoring.
It was a rainy, windy day in
Sheboygan, but the sixteen golfers
from four of the' conference schools
participated in spite of the atmos-pheric
conditions. Individual scores,
other than Don Mattson's now 70,
were Les Borms, 83; Bob Hames,
87; and Dale Malaise, 95.
The Royal team, because of their
efforts at this meet, brought back
to the school a ncie trophy, and
Don Mattson took home an indi-vidual
medal for his fine game.
The golf team, it can be noted,
was the only group from Bethel
to take a first place in the big
Sheboygan meet.
Trackmen
Downed at
Sheboygan
The track team traveled to She-boygan,
Wisconsin, last Saturday
to run in a cold, windy track meet
which landed them in a fourth
place position in the quadrangular
meet.
A few of the individual members
faired quite well in their respective
events. Second place positions were
taken by the mile medley relay
teams, and Paul Evan placed sec-ond
in the shot put. Third place
honors went to Larry Bradshaw in
the half mile, Ron Olson in the
220, Phil Anderson in the mile run,
Roger Purcell tied in the broad
jump, Captain Pat Colon in the
two mile run, and Paul Evan tied
for the third place in the pole
vault.

THE SECOND ROUND of games
of the afternoon saw Bethel meet
the other first-round loser, Lake-land.
Mery Sheplee worked the dis-tance
for Bethel, turning in a
sparkling four-hit performance,
weakening only in the fourth, when
Lakeland bunched three of their
hits and scored both their runs.
Royal hitters banged eleven hits
off Lakeland starter Bob Frath,
but didn't really begin until their
half of the fourth, when they rap-ped
two singles, a double by Don
McKelvy, and a two-run single by
Tang Wynia in succession. Bethel
totaled four hits again in the sixth
inning, scoring three runs this
time to command a 5-2 lead.
In the seventh, Al Littler smash-ed
a double, hit his third hit of
the game, and then scored on a
line single by Curt Hallstrom, also
his third safety of the game, to
round out the Royal scoring.

Bethel Nine Lose One,
Win One; Take Third
On Saturday, May 21, the Bethel baseball club traveled to Sheboy-gan,
Wisconsin, where they were shaved by Milton college 1-0 in the
first round of Conference playoffs, then came back to whip Lakeland
6-2 and take a third place birth in the four-team meet.
In the first game, John Holmberg, pitching with only one days
rest, hurled a masterful four hitter, but Milton's Paul Fenrinkle out-hurled
him, blanking Bethel on just two fourth-inning singles by
"Tuffy" Bryant and Al Littler.

Editorial The Mind of South Africa;
Constitution Challenged White Suss remacy the Ideal
At the last student senate meeting the senators formed a
committee of the whole to discuss the role of the calendar co-ordina-tor
and the calendar policy committee in relation to the social
council.
The topic of discussion was whether the committee should
be comprised of the co-ordinator, the social council and a repre-sentative
of the student affairs office or if two students should
serve on the committee rather than the social council.
It seemed that the committee of the whole reported to the
senate a recommendation that the social council be replaced by two
students. As the matter came up for a vote, following the some-what
heated discussion, one senator left the room and a cohort
called for a quorum which was not present. Thus the matter was
left hanging.
The point in question is one of strictly adhering to an ob-solete
constitution or officially adopting a contrary policy because
of its practical nature.
Or could it be a matter of revising the constitution so that the
roles of the councils and appointees are clearly defined and in line
with present campus policy?

Conrad Woodall
by Ian Paterson
Hitler's supporters of yesterday are the govern-ment
leaders of today in South Africa. During
World War II they wanted to take the Union into
the war on the side of Germany because of their
sympathy with Nazi ideas about white supremacy.
Also, Hitler was fighting the British. However, in
1939 these men were not in power and South Africa
fought as Britain's ally.
Today these men are in power and their pri-mary
policy is the complete separation of blacks
from whites—"apartheid." As one put it, while ad-dressing
a banquet, "We are on the road to our
true ideal, which is a white South Africa."
Those who favor this ideal are descendants of
the early Dutch settlers, who came to the Cape (of
Good Hope) in 1652 bringing with them a strong
Calvinistic doctrine and belief in the literal transla-tion
of the Bible. They saw domination of the black
African as part of God's plan and stressed in part
Joshua 9:21, "Let them be hewers of wood and
drawers of water."
Britain came into the picture during the
Napoleonic Wars when she seized the Cape Colony
to protect her sea routes. From the beginning, dif-ferences
separated the two groups—language, tem-perament,
and religion. (The British were Anglican
and in the eyes of the Dutch, liberal. Nor was
friendship engendered by the freeing of the Dutch
slaves by the British.) These differences proved too
much for the Boers (Dutch word meaning farmer)
who pulled out en masse for the interior (this be-came
known as the "Great Trek.")
The move inland was a great isolating factor;
and the Boers continued in their old ways with a
hardened shell. The land which they settled they
called Transvaal and the Orange Free State. And
what an unfortunate choice, for diamonds and gold
in abundance and here came the British once again.
The Boer War (1899-1902) was the final result of
renewed tensions and resulted in a British victory.
The Union of South Africa was formed.
The British were in the voting minority by a
half million, however; and were therefore unable to
control the government. Fortunately the Afrikaners
(term used by Dutch descendants to describe them-selves)
elected leaders who were moderate in out-look.
But when the last of these moderate leaders,
General Smuts, died in the late forties the diehards
of the earlier age regained control and since 1948
have pushed "apartheid." (And to insure continued
power they re-arranged voting lines to their advan-tage.
Negroes do not have a vote.) Through the
channels of government the 1.8 million Afrikaners
are trying to bring about the total control of the
10 million African Negroes.
The most obnoxious part of this control, as the
Negro sees it, is the pass system which this Na-tionalist
party is enforcing with vigor. All Negroes
are required to carry an "identification pass" which
the authorities can demand at any time. Other passes
required for specific occasions include the "Trek
pass", to travel to one town from another; "Travel-ling
pass", to go to one suburb from another; "Six
day special pas" allowing six days in a city to
find work; "Day special pass", to visit out of town
friends on his day off; "Location visitor's pass", to
show he checked in when he arrived at this friend's;
and the "Night special pass" to be out after 9 p.m.
To the black African the pass system has be-come
the symbol of injustice and white domination.
In the past, passive resistance has been urged by
African leaders and during the years there have
been many peaceful demonstrations. On March 21,
1960 such a demonstration took place in Sharpe-ville,
but roused tempers on both sides set the police
to machine-gunning, and 72 blacks were killed, 250
more were wounded. Throughout the country this
action roused the African and for three weeks there
was rioting and further killing, and strikes and
arrests for striking. It roused the English-speaking
people and its anti-government press and a white
farmer of British extraction attempted assassina-tion
of the Prime Minister.
As to the Afrikaners, they took a course of
suppression, and today the riots are quelled. The
workers are back at work and to the outside world
nothing is heard anymore.
But seared hearts do not forget and seared
minds remember.
It is hard to imagine that the South African
government can long endure unchanged. "No one,
however, could conceive of any Afrikaner giving the
Africans what they are demanding." Herein lie the
seeds of future conflict.
English Faculty Review Current Books;
Long Summer Days Engender Reading
by Lewis Barrett
(Editor's note: Some of the
English faculty were asked to
suggest a book for summer read-ing
and review it.)
For summer reading I would
suggest Peter Viereck's The Un-adjusted
Man: a new hero for
Americans, a man concerned with
his spiritual, aesthetic and prac-tical
development.
Viereck is belles-lettres with a
collosal spread—one foot in aes-thetics
and the other firmly in
economic and political areas. Above
all, he is a 20th century Edmund
Burke or Thomas Babington Mac-
Caulay, living as they did for in-tellectual
freedom with moral re-sponsibility.
Viereck, a prolific
Pulitzer prize winning poet, essay-ist,
historian, and journalist is a
professor of history at Mt. Hol-yoke
college, South Hadley, Mass.
At 44 this controversial repre-sentative
of the new conservative
element in philosophy and politics
has unmasked more age-of-adjust-ment
socialistic trends than most
sages twice his age. He predicts
that from the conservatives will
come a new "creative traditional-ism,"
in which the poet and artist
will attack smugness but will cre-ate
alternative moral standards.
Since he dabbles on both banks
(imaginative and didactic) of the
intellectual stream, the political
and social scientists smile at his
humanistic, qualitative orientation,
and the literateur' finds his books
loaded with too much practical
knowledge.
In The Unadjusted Man, for in-stance,
he races in epigrammatic
fashion from Burkean philosophy
to the New Deal, using his cutting
and stinging touch and lightning
humor to clean out collectivism so
that individualism may grow.
He realizes such free imagina-tion
may be suspected as signs of
unadjustment in an age that is
overadjusted and seeking to edu-cate
men to be citizens rather than
individuals. Viereck wants man to
have more "elbow-room within a
more organic belongingness, an
organic unity of individuals as op-posed
to a state-coerced unity of
massmen."
by Jeannine Bohlmeyer
The World's Last Night is a col-lection
of seven essays on varied
topics. "The Efficacy of Prayer"
seeks an answer to the question
"What sort of evidence would
prove the efficacy of prayer ?" "On
Obstinacy in Belief" considers
some of the supposed contrasts be-tween
faith and scientific belief
based on evidence. "Lilies that Fes-ter"
deplores faith in "culture."
The possible effects on Christian-ity
should life be discovered on
other planets is the topic of "Re-ligion
and Rocketry," and the title
essay considers temporal existence
in relation to the second coming
of Christ. "Good Work and Good
Works" insists on careful crafts-manship
instead of displays of
"mere puddles of spilled sensibility
or reflection." "Screwtape Propo-ses
a Toast" continues the reverse-twist
point of view made famous
in The Screwtape Letters.
Mr. Lewis consistently concludes
a chapter long before he has ex-hausted
his subject or his reader.
Each essay might well be a chapter
from an entire book devoted to its
theme. Mr. Lewis' deft, witty, in-cisive
style, familiar to readers of
his other works, and his gift for
developing the unexpected idea
compel attention. The book is not
difficult reading, but it should lead
the reader to difficult thinking
about the relevancy of Christianity
to the modern world—and to the
modern Christian.
by Trevor Owen
Glendon Swarthout's novel They
Came to Cordura combines the
pleasure of an exciting adventure
story with the appeal of an intelli-gent
presentation of an interesting
theme—heroism.
Major Thorn, the central char-acter
of the story, is fascinated and
tormented by the question: "What
is heroism ?" The question is es-pecially
poignant to him because
he has been branded a coward. The
story takes place in Mexico, in
1916, at the time of the American
punitive expedition against Pancho
Villa. Thorn has been given the
responsibility of carefully leading
to safety five men who eventually
are to be awarded the Congres-sional
Medal of Honor.
The journey of these men to
Cordura, with its increasingly ad-verse
circumstances, is a testing
experience for all. The progressive
effects of the test on Thorn and

psychological study leading, with

scene of the most brutal and sense-less
violence and a puzzling, al-most
fancfiul, denouement.

THE CONFIDENCE-MAN: His
Masquerade, Melville's last full-length
novel has lain in obscurity
for almost one hundred years. Only
recently has the American reader
discovered in it the remarkable
depth of perception which Melville
had of mid-nineteenth century
Yankee hypocrisies.
The author develops the novel
through a series of parables in-volving
the exploits of a Confi-dence
Man. Throughout, Melville
questions the liberalist attitude
which blindly places confidence in
all people, despite the contrary
counsel of common sense and wis-dom.
Melville does not reject his
faith in humanity, but concludes
that there is a higher confidence
for man: the American Constitu-tion,
the Bible, and Jehovah.

Music Studio
Plans Told
By Whitinger
A recent announcement by the
music department revealed that
they are planning to expand their
facilities by utilizing the house on
the corner of Asbury and Arling-ton
which is already owned by the
school.
The five-room building will
function primarily as a prac-tice
studio and vocal-piano teach-ing
studio. Plans call for some
acoustic work to be done so that
the building will be reasonably
sound proofed. In addition, it may
be possible that the large dining
and living room area may be used
as a small recital hall for student
recitals and for piano and vocal
workshops.
According to Julius Whitinger,
acting chairman of the music de-partment,
the current student rates
for practice facilities will prob-ably
remain in effect and students
will be assigned practice space
according to the system that is now
used. It is anticipated that there
will still be practice available in
the college building after school
hours and on Saturdays.

New Faculty
(continued from page 1 )
He took his B.A. and M.A. degrees
from the University and has also
done undergraduate work at Duke
University. Mr. Bonn was elected
to Phi Beta Kappa and completed
his undergraduate work with
summa cum laude honors; he is
also a recipient of the Woodrow
Wilson scholarship. He has been
a teaching assistant at the Uni-versity
for two years, in both
biological and political sciences.
Positions vacated by faculty
members on sabbatical leaves will,
for the most part, be filled by re-arrangements
within the various
departments.
Dean Larson commended those
who are leaving the Bethel faculty
to serve elsewhere. These include J.
Philip Gustafson, Ellen Lehr, Lynn
Lundeen, Trevor Owen, and Charles
Tucek.
Corrections: In the article
by "the Gadfly" the word "not"
was unintentionally deleted
from the first paragraph. It
should read, "But NOT all re-ligious
people have felt this re-action
to doubt."
It was incorrectly stated in
the April 28 issue that Gerry
Laidlaw was assistant director
of "The Barretts of Wimpole
Street." Miss Laidlaw and Mary
Lou Wick were co-assistant dir-ectors.

Second Place
THE BETHEL TENNIS TEAM
captured second place in the Bad-ger
Gopher Conference meet held
Saturday, May 21, at Sheboygan,
Wis. led by the doubles team of
Ed Tegenfeldt and Larry Petersen
who took nine points out of a pos-sible
12, the team finished with a
total of 18 points to fall short of
a stronger Lakeland college unit.
In the singles bracket Bethel's
Dick Larson and Dick Benert com-piled
six and three points, respec-tively.
The tennis team was the
only spring sports group from
Bethel to place in the conference
meet which was held at Sheboygan.
A FIRST PLACE TROPHY and
the star individual medal were
captured by the Bethel golf team
as they took first place in the
Badger Gopher Conference golf
meet at Sheboygan, Wisconsin last
Saturday. Don Mattson walked
away with the day's lowest score
as he shot a 70, which is two un-der
par for the course. The teams
total score was 335, five less than
the second place Milton team.
Holmberg and
Bethel Nine
Blank NW, 6-0
The Bethel baseball team singled
their way into the Badger Gopher
Conference meet at Sheboygan,
Wis. behind the brilliant hurling
of John Holmberg on Thursday,
May 19, as they blanked the North-western
Eagles 6-0.
John went the distance, giving
up only three scattered singles
while firing his first Bethel shut-out.
Despite an early-innings sore
arm, he was in control of the situa-tion
at all times, striking out nine
batsmen while walking only two.
Long John also sparkled at the
plate, singling twice in three times
at bat—just one hit short of equ-alling
the number he doled out.
Bethel jumped on Northwestern
starter, Jim Carlson, early, scor-ing
the eventually decisive run
after sending only four men to the
plate in the very first inning, as
Al Littler sent a long fly to left
to score Dick Robertson from
third. It was Littler's first of three
RBI's in the afternoon.
Carlson, by now the losing pit-cher,
departed in the second after
Bethel tagged him for another
tally and was threatening to con-tinue
the same. Ralph Young re-lieved
and temporarily stopped the
Bethel hitters, but allowed a run
in the third, fifth, and two in the
sixth inning, rounding out the
Bethel scoring.
It was a rainy, windy day in
Sheboygan, but the sixteen golfers
from four of the' conference schools
participated in spite of the atmos-pheric
conditions. Individual scores,
other than Don Mattson's now 70,
were Les Borms, 83; Bob Hames,
87; and Dale Malaise, 95.
The Royal team, because of their
efforts at this meet, brought back
to the school a ncie trophy, and
Don Mattson took home an indi-vidual
medal for his fine game.
The golf team, it can be noted,
was the only group from Bethel
to take a first place in the big
Sheboygan meet.
Trackmen
Downed at
Sheboygan
The track team traveled to She-boygan,
Wisconsin, last Saturday
to run in a cold, windy track meet
which landed them in a fourth
place position in the quadrangular
meet.
A few of the individual members
faired quite well in their respective
events. Second place positions were
taken by the mile medley relay
teams, and Paul Evan placed sec-ond
in the shot put. Third place
honors went to Larry Bradshaw in
the half mile, Ron Olson in the
220, Phil Anderson in the mile run,
Roger Purcell tied in the broad
jump, Captain Pat Colon in the
two mile run, and Paul Evan tied
for the third place in the pole
vault.

THE SECOND ROUND of games
of the afternoon saw Bethel meet
the other first-round loser, Lake-land.
Mery Sheplee worked the dis-tance
for Bethel, turning in a
sparkling four-hit performance,
weakening only in the fourth, when
Lakeland bunched three of their
hits and scored both their runs.
Royal hitters banged eleven hits
off Lakeland starter Bob Frath,
but didn't really begin until their
half of the fourth, when they rap-ped
two singles, a double by Don
McKelvy, and a two-run single by
Tang Wynia in succession. Bethel
totaled four hits again in the sixth
inning, scoring three runs this
time to command a 5-2 lead.
In the seventh, Al Littler smash-ed
a double, hit his third hit of
the game, and then scored on a
line single by Curt Hallstrom, also
his third safety of the game, to
round out the Royal scoring.

Bethel Nine Lose One,
Win One; Take Third
On Saturday, May 21, the Bethel baseball club traveled to Sheboy-gan,
Wisconsin, where they were shaved by Milton college 1-0 in the
first round of Conference playoffs, then came back to whip Lakeland
6-2 and take a third place birth in the four-team meet.
In the first game, John Holmberg, pitching with only one days
rest, hurled a masterful four hitter, but Milton's Paul Fenrinkle out-hurled
him, blanking Bethel on just two fourth-inning singles by
"Tuffy" Bryant and Al Littler.
